Blues v Chiefs
-
interesting move putting Robinson at lock, I know he started out there, but I think he is suited to a wider game that the blues used him for last year, he can play tight, but whether he will be as effective is another matter.
Akira not in the 23 is huge though, but maybe he just hasnt been ticking the boxes?

I think Papali'i fits the wide role better than Robinson.
Not sure if Robinson has packed on any weight, but in some photos he looks like he's bigger. He might be more equipped to handle lock duties this season.

@Dice always thought Papali'I looked more of a tight loosie myself.
Mind you, these guys are simply playing to (or should be) the role they have been assigned in the game plan.
@taniwharugby He's good in the tight or out wide.
Even if Papali'i is playing a wider role on attack, he still gets a good amount of work done in the tight.

That video is a good reminder as to how overrated the Chiefs forwards are outside of Cane and the frontrow.

@nzzp Jesus mate, better try to draw a clock (dementia test). DMac blew out his knee in Hamilton a month earlier. He didn't play on Eden Park.

We own the Chiefs. #1GameWinningStreak
In the preseason, definitely.
I am surprised at the TAB odds as I think this is a 50/50 game. More pressure on the Blues being a home game.

Pressure? Not making the playoffs for damn near a decade, consistnetly underperforming, breaking my will to live year after year ... that's pressure. Home game is easy by comparison; it's away we struggled for so long

@nzzp Why are you posting from 2018? Have you had a stroke?
The Blues won their last game against the Chiefs.

So it'll be about 24°C at kick off and the teams are loaded with loosies
I expect a big score and shitty tired defence

@Nepia Rugby Challenge 3.
Oh, I have that game ... your screenshot made it look better than mine.
I did the same with a Magpies v BoP match (I think I only ran up 105 points though) and then saved it as a screensaver on his laptop, he was so computer illiterate it took him a month before he removed it.
